E1M5: Caverns of Bazoik (Chex Quest)

E1M5: Caverns of Bazoik is the fifth and final map of Chex Quest. It was designed by and uses the music track "Caverns" by Andrew Benon.

Essentials
Open door and head past the longing tunnel, turn left and get through a longer tunnel, maneuver over the tight sideways of the room at the end of the tunnel until you reach the yellow key. Turn 180 degrees, jump down below and head to the right teleporter of the middle pillar, go through the tunnel until you reach the blue key. Backtrack to the teleporter you came from and go across a small slime crack, open the blue door. Go through the tunnel behind it until you see a rocky door beside some crates, open the door and take the red key behind it. Backtrack to the first tunnel of the map and flow down the slime, open the red door at the end of the tunnel and step on the teleporter pad behind it. Go left or right and then down a much longer tunnel, fall down the slime flow at the end, send the Flembrane back to its dimension and go behind it, towards the trapped Chex people hostages.

Official

(sector 192)
 * 2) Before the yellow key area there's a misaligned texture to the left, press it to obtain two large zorcher packs and a super bootspork. (sector 88)
 * 3) Behind the blue door, the first lightbulb can be pressed to reveal a bowl of vegetables, large zorcher and a teleporter pad that will teleport you back to the bottom part of the yellow key room. (sector 84)
 * 4) Fall behind the slimeproof suit and open a door for a bowl of fruits (sector 127) and teleporter that will teleport you in front of the red door.

The Flembrane was originally supposed to have a map of its own, as there's a graphic for the next map's title simply called The Flembrane.
